I’m using Windows 2000 Professional, and IE has been freezing on me ever since I reformatted. I tried uprgrading to IE6 to see if that’d help any, but it didn’t. It only freezes when a popup or when a new window browser in which I do ‘right click\>open new window’ loses focus. Any suggestions, besides reformatting?

Yeah, Try netscape instead. They have a new version out BTW. Supports multiple web sites  
one one page.
